Supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul had a busy weekend in the home state of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. And it seems to have yielded some success.
Paul national campaign chairman Jesse Benton told The Daily Caller that Paul supporters occupy 16 of 19 delegate slots filled in congressional district selection processes.
“They are bound to Romney but support Ron,” said Benton. The effect of this coup isn’t immediately clear.

This is what I was wanting to see. I wouldn't be surprised to if Paul supporters repeat this action in other primary states where the caucus/convention process gets less attention. Being able to get the bulk of the delegates suggests they would be able to dominate that state convention, which could lead to some interesting developments.
